Serve It Over Hamburgers

Ice Cream Cheeseburger, Florida: Here’s why you go to the Florida State Fair: because you find something amazing like the ice cream cheeseburger, from Carousel foods. It's exactly what it sounds like: a cheeseburger, topped with lettuce, pickles, tomatoes and, you guessed it, a giant scoop of fried ice cream.

Spaghettieis, Germany: This popular German specialty resembles spaghetti with marinara sauce but actually consists of vanilla ice cream that’s been passed through an extruder and topped with strawberry sauce and coconut.
